Drove up tp Plano, Texastoday to a show put on by KTCK, a local sports radio station. Pretty women and Karem Abdul Jabbar as the highlighted guest.

These were shot with the E520 (in-camera JPEG's)and 50-200. ISO 800 shots look very nice. You can see the obvious shallow depth of field as I was shooting these from a little distance and no flash, so the lens was close to, if not wide open.

When it comes to high ISO and dark backgrounds, there can be some considerable banding, which shows up when I shot Karem Abdul Jabbar who was up on a stage. I was back a little ways here, so I didn't botherwith flash, but did play with both ISO 800 and 1600 in addition to changing the noise filter between off, low and standard settings.
